Literary Note for October.
Marion Crawford opens up a new
line of thought in his article entitled
“Rome, the Capital of a New Republic,”
appearing in the October Cosmopolitan.
It is not*likely that the October num
ber will have the success which atten
ded that for September. The
extraordinary spectacle was presented
of a cent magazine selling for 50
and 75 cents, and many hundreds were
even sold at SI.OO each. Probaly the
record remains without a parallel, iu
periodical sales, of a number proving
so interesting that, after 211,000 cop
ies had been sold, the News Company
had orders for 50,000 more than they
could supply, while dealers in various
parts of the country, discovering the
esteem in which the magazine was held,
immediately raised their prices to doub
le, treble, quadruple aud in many cases
to eight times the regular price. The
publishers do not yet know what their
real circulation is, owing to the limited
capacity of their presses; but machin
ery is being put iu place which will
supply an edition for December ex
ceeding 300,000, and during that
month it will be possible to determine
just how many Cosmopolitans the
public will buy.

i “Who speaks for this man ?” From the
great White Tliroae,
Veiled in its rebate clouds, the voice
came forth ;
Before it stood a parted soul alone.
And rolling east, and west, ni£ south,
and north,
The mighty aceents summoned quick and
dead ;
“Who speak, for this man, ere his doom lie
said ? t!
Shivering, lie listened, for his early life
Had passed in dull, unnoted calm away ;
He brought no gl<k.7to his early strife,
No wreath of fame, or genius’ fiery ray ;
Weak, lone, ungifted, quiet and obscure,
Born in shadow, dying ’mid the poor.
Lo .’ from the solemn concourse, hushed
and dim, otp"-" -—’
The widow’s prayer, the orphan’s blessing
rose ;
The struggler told of trouble shared by him,
The lonely of cheered hours and softened
woes ;
And like a chorus spake the crushed and
sad,
“He gave us all ho could and what he had.”
And little words of ‘loving kiuduess said,
And t ender thoughts, and help in time of
need,
Sprang up, like leaves by soft spring aliow
ert fed,
In some waste corner, sown by chance
flung seed,
In grateful wonder heard the modest soul,
Such trifles gathered to so bless the whole.
Oh, ye by circutiisA-roe’s strong fetters
bound, ]y l
The store so little./'ed the hand so frail,
Do but the best you can for all around ;
Lot sympathy bo true, nor courage fail ;
Winning among your neighbors, poor and
weak,
Some witness at your trial hour to speak.

was intended merely as a suggestion.

the bats fly overhead; when mosqui
toes cease their rhyming and the birds
to southward flee, you will find the fat
old ’possum climbing up the ’simmon
tree. Then your knots of pine are
lighted and the dogs with pleasure
howl, till they scare that poor benight

regardless of all chiding, to the swamps
the dogs run free, and they find the fat
old ’possum hiding up the ’simmon
tree.”

Instrumental Music In Religious
Worship.
Away back in the days of our fath
ers, such a thing as a deep toned organ
was not so much as thought of—much
less occupying a central place right in
front of the preacher’s stand. Hut the
age being progressive, the music and
aid of the organ have been brought to
the front.
While there ie yet some opposition
to the use of the organ in the house of
worship, there are a great many who
approve of tho use of appropriate mu
sical instruments in the worship of God.
VV ay back iu the good old camp meet
ing times, a long tin trumpet was used
as a signal for the people to assemble
at the stand, but beyond that, the tin
horn was not heard. Tho boys of
those good old time Methodist people
had not been trained to blow on mu
sical instruments. Home of them could
make an echoing blast ou the hunts
man’s horn that would call the dogs
together for the fox chase, or the pos
sum hunt, but no one ever thought
there was such a volumn of enraptur
ing music in one of these round about
tin horns. I tell yon, if you never at
tended one of these gospel tent meet
ings, you just ought to go and hear
them boys toot them musical horns.
They can get there, brother, and that
captivating toot horn music had much
to do with calling out thoso large
crowds of men, women and children
that went up to the service and worship
of God at the gospel tent meetings. I
went in the outset to hear what the
leading preacher had to say, but after
hearing him three or four times, 1 then
went more to hear the exliilorating
music than I did the preaching, which
I was interesting to many, but to me
monotonous and uninteresting. lam
fully persuaded if the instrumental
department of the music was removed
from those iteuerating tent meetings,
much of the interest that has been ta
ken in the tent meetings would greatly
subside. When men are without men
tal force sufficient to command and at
tract a popular hearing, they have to
resort to other means, or methods, to
enlist the populace into a stirring cur
rant. By all legal means, let the mu
sic be continued. That may be the
only successful way of getting many
old dry hardened cases to go out and
hear of a deep down, smoking, burning
lake of literal fire, that God will send
thorn into, if they do not repent and
turn to the Lord, that he may have
mercy on them before these popular
tout meetings cease tbeir mission of
seeking aud saving lost sinners. ISy
no meaus would we speak lightly of
the various instrumentalities that God
would approve and employ to bring the
poor wandering sinners back to the
sheltering fold of the kind shepherd.
Who knows but that this new depart
ment ou the line of our church going
music, may be in accord with divine
recognition, and intended for means of
leading the erring into ways of peace
and right-doing. If need be, let the
organ, cornet and David’s harp of sol
emn sound be blended with our church
music, if desigued for the salvation of
sinners aud for the exalted glory of
God. W. T. G.
